Particle Size Measurements.

11 For 40 m filtered suspensions, particle size measurements were performed at 25 C with a Cilas 1190 microsizer using the Fraunhofer measurement method. For 1 m filtered suspensions, particle size measurements were performed at 25 C and suspension concentration at 0.01 wt % with a commercial Zeta-sizer (Zetasizer NanoZS, Malvern, France). The particle radii were controlled by light scattering. A given volume of the tested suspension was injected in the cell after 30 s of homogenization with ultrasonic bath. The size was measured after reaching stable values.
